In the accompanying drawing: I have pivotally attached a finger pressed lever Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the hair clamping member 29, as at 30, to the bar 20. The lever part of a heater embodying my invention, showmember is provided with an outwardly projecting ing the hinged cover in an open position; thumb piece 3| at one end, and with an inwardly 25 Fig. 2 is a top plan view similar to Fig. 1, showextending flanged part 32 at its opposite end. A ing the hair clamping bars in separated posispring 33, extending around a stationary pin 34 tions; carried by the bar 20 and with its free end engag- Fig. 3 is anend view of the same; ing with the thumb piece 3|, exerts an inward Fig. 4 is a plan view of an internal electrically pressure upon the thumb piece end of thelever 30 heated spindle which is adapted to be held in an member, thereby normally returning the inwardly operative position by the part of the device ilextending flange 32 to a position in which it enlustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3; gages with the inner surface of the bar 2| when Fig. 5 is an end view of the spindle showing the the latter is positioned in close proximity to the 35 operating handle thereon; and bar 20. When the thumb piece 3| is pressed out- 35 Fig. 6 is an end view of the spindle, showing wardly,- the flanged part 32 of the lever member the same operatively mounted in the hair clamp forces the free end of the bar 2| in a direction ing part of the device. away from the free end of the bar 20, thereby Ahair waving heater of the kind embodying my causing the release of the blade 21 from the invention is illustrated in Figs. 1 to 6 inclusive, prongs 28. 40 wherein the numerals 20 and 2| designate two In ordinary practice, after the strand of hair rubber covered hair clamping bars. The bars is properly clamped between the two bars 20 and are pivotally connected together at ends thereof 2|, a spindle 35 is employed to wind the hair by means of a pin or rivet 22. Secured to the upon, prior to the heating and curling or wavbar 2| are hinge members 23, which together with ing operation. So as to hold the extreme ends 45 a rod 24 serve to pivotally attach a hinged cover of the hair in position, prior to its being wound or shield 25 to the said bar. Secured to a side of upon the spindle, I have pivotally attached an the bar 20 at opposite ends thereof are flanges end of an arcuate member 36 to the said spindle.

26 which project inwardly and are intended to The ends of a strand of hair are held between prevent any hairs clamped between the bars 20 the arcuate member 36 and the spindle 35 when 50 and 2| from becoming lodged in the end structhe said spindle is turned to cause the winding tures of the device. The flanges 26 also serve to of the hair thereon. The spindle is hollow and maintain the strand of hair in such a position is provided therein with an electrical heater that it is properly engaged by the resilient rubber which is supplied with a current of electrical coverings on the bars 20 and 2|, thereby insurenergy by a cord I9. One end of the spindle is 55 preferably formed with a socket within which two terminals of the internally disposed electrical heater is connected, and the cord I9 is provided with a plug which is adapted to detachably fit inside the socket to make the proper electrical connection. The opposite end of the spindle is provided with a finger piece 31 which permits the convenient turning of the said spindle to cause the winding of a strand of hair thereon. The two opposite ends of the spindle areprovided with suitable friction rings 38 which areadapted to become engaged with the upwardly disposed parts 39 of a spring clip secured to opposite ends of the bar The opposed parts 39 of the spring clip engaging with the friction rings 38 of the spindle normally prevent the latter from unwinding after the hair is wound thereon. The friction rings, as illustrated on the drawing, are preferably made of rubber or other suitable material. It is also within the purview of my invention to make the friction rings 38 of metal with their circumferential surfaces corrugated or otherwise serrated. After the hair is wound upon the spindle 35 and the latter is mounted between the spring clips 39, the shield or cover is placed over the same, as illustrated in Fig. 3 by the dotted lines.

While I have described the illustrated embodiment of my invention with considerable particularity, this is done by way of illustration only and it is obvious that many other embodiments will readily occur to those skilled in this art, and I therefore do not limit my invention to theprecise details shown and described, but claim all embodiments coming within" the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim 1. In a hair waving device, a pair of hair clamping bars pivoted to each other at one end, one of the bars at its free end having an inwardly protruding blade, the other of the bars at its free end having spaced prongs with which the blade is adapted to frictionally engage to maintain the bars in clamping positions alongside one another, and a lever member pivoted on one of the bars for separating the bars.

2. In a hair waving device, a pair of hair clamping bars pivoted to each other at one end, means for releasably holding the bars in clamped positions, a pair of spaced spring clips mounted above the bars, an electrically heated spindle removably grasped by the clips, the said spindle having one or more friction rings thereon with which the spring clips engage to normally prevent the spindle from turning.

3. In a hair waving device, a pair of hair clamping bars pivoted to each other at one end, means for releasably holding the bars in clamping positions adjacent one another, a. pair of spaced spring clips mounted above the bars, an electri- 'cally heated spindle removably grasped by the clips, the said spindle having one or more inction rings thereon with which the spring clips engage to normally prevent the spindle from turning, and a cover hinged to one of the bars and adapted to overlie the spindle.

4. In a hair waving device, a'pair of hair clamping bars pivoted to each other at one end, means for releasably holding the bars in clamping posi-' tions adjacent one another, the said means comprising a blade carried by one bar and a pair of prongs carried with the other bar and with which the blade is' adapted to frictionally engage, a pair of spaced spring clips mounted above the bars, an electrically heated spindle removably held by the clips, the said spindle having one or more friction ringsthereon with whichthe spring clips engage to normally prevent the spindle from turning, and a cover hinged to one of the bars and adapted to overlie the spindle,
